By the time she got off the car, Lu Mingxuan had already calmed down.

When Ji Hanyu received the news, he specially came out to pick him up. When he saw Lu Mingxuan, he couldn't help staring at the other person's red eyes for a long time.

Because it seems impolite to look down—

Lu Mingxuan was still holding Jiang Yueli's hand.

However, the parties involved were busy cleaning up their moods, and seemed to be unaware of the situation.

Or maybe it's a habit.

When Han Lin called to inform Lu Mingxuan of her parents' whereabouts, she also asked her to attend the Hua family's banquet. It would be best to let out some rumors, so that those in the Lu family could go as much as possible.

It's quite a catch-all meaning.

After Lu Mingxuan recalled this incident, she couldn't help but deepened Jiang Yueli's demonization filter that reminded her in advance.

This person is not a monster, he must have read the script in advance!

But these were trivial matters, Lu Mingxuan put them behind her head without worrying about them for a while, grabbed Jiang Yueli and was about to walk into the room.

"The stylist has been waiting for a long time. Remember to have a better attitude when you are late." Ji Hanyu reminded from behind, "The dress sent by Miss Hua is also inside. You can figure it out yourself."

Although Lu Mingxuan was usually overly down-to-earth, she still had common sense of etiquette, so she wouldn't just wander around in a hoodie and jeans at a serious banquet.

What's more, this body is wrinkled and covered with dust.

Seeing Jiang Yueli's dirty face, the stylist couldn't help showing a suffocated expression.

The stylist was very familiar with Lu Mingxuan, and they were basically bad friends, so when Jiang Yue left to wash her face and hair, she walked away from Lu Mingxuan in disgust: "Boss Lu, you guys just went down to dig coal? "

Lu Mingxuan recalled the scene of them climbing up and down in that wasteland looking for clues for a moment, and finally nodded with a sad face: "Almost."

Stylist: ".......You are really down-to-earth, are you taking your girlfriend to experience life?"

Lu Mingxuan sighed deeply: "For justice."

Stylist: "...."

When it was time to start putting on makeup, Lu Mingxuan suddenly realized that there was some misunderstanding in a certain paragraph before, and she straightened up suddenly: "She is not me—"

The stylist asked the assistant to push Lu Mingxuan back, while threatening: "If you mess around again, I'll shave you bald!"

"..." Lu Mingxuan lay back silently, still struggling to explain, "I mean, Jiang Yueli is not my girlfriend."

The stylist gave her a condescending sideways glance, and while filing her nails, said, "You've brought people here, so don't lie to yourself, okay, I've seen you all come in hand in hand, didn't you come in a few times before?" Were you with her when you entered the hospital? At that time, I thought you guys had encountered some resistance and wanted to play martyrdom."

As he said that, the stylist patted Lu Mingxuan's shoulder with a clear face: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we've known each other for so long, can you still trust my character? I will never say anything about it."

Lu Mingxuan stretched out her hand weakly: "No, wait, things are not what you think——"

The stylist didn't listen to her at all, and admired her nails regretfully with her legs crossed: "I just wronged my young lady, what a considerate girl, she doesn't even make trouble with you, you should cherish it." People, it's hard to find such a good-looking and good-tempered girl now. With your character, I'm sorry, I thought you were really going to be lonely for the rest of your life."

Am I that bad?

This was Lu Mingxuan's first reaction.

Then it dawned on her that this wasn't a problem at all, that she'd been vacant because she didn't want to find someone.

However, since she got involved with Jiang Yueli by accident, no one seems to remember her bold ambition of being barren and infertile.

Even she herself almost forgot.

Lu Mingxuan was a little tired, and sighed secretly, but finally couldn't help but give up her defense.

Forget it, after all, the first person to slap her in the face was precisely herself.

But having said that, Jiang Yueli's personality can be considered good-tempered?

Lu Mingxuan felt very puzzled and couldn't figure it out - how many layers of pitiful filters did these people have in their eyes?

As far as Jiang Yueli's sullen personality is concerned, if she has a good temper, she can just swallow the three words "good temper".

This question troubled Lu Mingxuan until Jiang Yueli was cleaned up and released.

Jiang Yueli didn't know if he was overworked, so that he fell asleep while washing his hair. At this time, he was brought out with sleepy eyes, looking a little dizzy, and was almost caught by his skirt when he stepped out of the room. He tripped and bumped his head against the door frame.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't hold back a chuckle.

But when the other party raised his head, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Jiang Yueli probably heard Lu Mingxuan's ridicule, and turned her head to look at her accurately. However, because she didn't wear glasses, her vision was a little blurred, so she subconsciously squinted her eyes. As cold as frost and snow.

Ordinary people's expressionless face is called facial paralysis, but good-looking people are called cold.

In Lu Mingxuan's eyes, Jiang Yueli who had been cleaned up was worthy of the word "amazing".

The long hair was smoothed out, the end was curled, and it fell softly to the side of the face and draped over the shoulders, making it look much cleaner and neater.

Perhaps it was because she was bored in the room all the year round, her skin was very fair, her facial features were regular and beautiful, coupled with her indifferent temperament, she seemed somewhat glamorous for no reason.

Lu Mingxuan was a little surprised, staring at Jiang Yueli for a long time, unable to speak.

Counting the encounters between her and Jiang Yueli in the past, the other party either flirted with her, or slapped her so badly that people wanted to slap her to death.

All the focus is on language and actions, so naturally she won't pay too much attention to her appearance.

For the rest of the day, the two of them were either fleeing for their lives or laying dead bodies in the hospital, so Lu Mingxuan didn't even bother to find out whether Jiang Yueli looked good or not.

After all, they don't make friends by face.

What's more, Jiang Yueli looks like a house at first glance, and she rarely takes the initiative to take care of herself on weekdays. At most, she keeps it clean and tidy, but she has always been indifferent to whether she has shown her good side.

So Jiang Yueli gave people the first impression of being too indifferent to the outside world, with her often messy hair and ugly glasses, which directly lowered outsiders' impression of her appearance.

——The sense of existence is basically zero.

It wasn't until now that Lu Mingxuan paid attention to Jiang Yueli's appearance for the first time, and realized that this guy who often made her teeth itch with anger was really beautiful.

It just seems a bit familiar——

"Hey, Boss Lu is back to his senses, and his saliva is about to flow out again." The stylist waved his hand in front of Lu Mingxuan, "When you go back, you will have time to appreciate it slowly, and now I don't have time for you to be infatuated here. .”

When Lu Mingxuan came back to her senses, the first thing she did was to wipe the corners of her lips, and then she glared at the stylist from embarrassment, "What are you talking about, can't I just be dumb!"

"Okay, okay, of course." The stylist waved his hands perfunctorily, then turned his head and continued to mutter, "I really think everyone else is blind. Forget it, let's go, we won't be light bulbs anymore, I wish you a smooth date."

"we are not--"

Even though Lu Mingxuan stretched out her hand very hard, she still failed to clarify the rumor.

Jiang Yueli squinted her eyes, and walked slowly in front of Lu Mingxuan, as if she couldn't see clearly from a distance, she insisted on getting closer, and looked her up and down for a long time.

Lu Mingxuan was terrified by Jiang Yueli's calm and careful scrutiny, and subconsciously wanted to back away, but after only one step back, she felt that her reaction was a bit harsh, so she quickly reached out to support the cabinet behind, pretending that she was just relying on go up.

She coughed lightly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does it look good?"

Jiang Yueli nodded very naturally: "It looks good."

Lu Mingxuan's beauty was revealed on the outside, and it was even more rare that she had an arrogant temperament. She was neither too much nor too little, and she could feel the aggressive beauty at a glance.

Jiang Yueli has never known what coyness is, and she is often full of foxy words and can put on a sincere expression to deceive you, but more often she is surprisingly honest.

Lu Mingxuan was beautiful, she had known this for a long time, and she was not stingy in admitting it.

On the contrary, Lu Mingxuan was a little uncomfortable. Although she was praised for her appearance since she was a child, it seemed that the compliments from other people fell into Jiang Yueli's mouth, and there were some subtle differences.

But what was different in detail, she couldn't say for a while.

It seemed that Jiang Yueli was too sincere, so sincere that she couldn't stand it.

Lu Mingxuan coughed for another two days, and looked away in a panic.

"Boss Lu, do you have a cold?" Jiang Yueli asked calmly, "You still have a fever? Your face is so red, do you want to take an antipyretic first?"

"Cough cough! Shut up, no." Lu Mingxuan became furious, and roughly grabbed Jiang Yueli's hand, "Let's go, or I'll be late."

Jiang Yueli closed his mouth, looked down at his held hand, and followed in silence.

......

Lu Mingxuan directly called the driver to pick him up, and brought two new mobile phones along the way.

Jiang Yueli originally wanted to carry the computer into the car, but under Lu Mingxuan's silent gaze, she obediently handed in the computer for the time being.

Looking at Jiang Yueli's reluctant eyes, the veins on Lu Mingxuan's forehead twitched.

In Jiang Yueli's eyes, a living person like her is not as attractive as a computer.

But soon she realized that she was so mad at a computer, she was really confused.

"Don't look, I'll ask someone to bring you there later." Lu Mingxuan pushed Jiang Yueli into the car, "Before I go in, please stay in peace and quiet, don't be too high-profile, after entering, find a corner and just go What are you doing?"

Jiang Yueli glanced at Lu Mingxuan's red dress, which was difficult for ordinary people to control, and silently swallowed her questioning words.

Perhaps Mr. Lu's understanding of high-profile is different from her understanding.

Fortunately, Lu Mingxuan hadn't gone mad enough to confiscate Jiang Yueli's phone, and the latter started holding onto her new phone as soon as she got into the car.

Lu Mingxuan pondered for a moment, and decided to give up preaching, but Jiang Yueli didn't know that she had never attended a banquet, so she still needs to briefly explain the basic tutorials.

"I'll take you in later. I'll celebrate Mrs. Hua's birthday first, and then I'll send Sister Hua's gift there. It's estimated that the old man will spend some time there. You can go in as my family member, just keep your mouth shut and wait for me. Just say happy birthday when hinting at you - don't be so stern, just smile a little bit."

Jiang Yueli looked up at Lu Mingxuan from the phone: "Can't I just find a corner and squat first? I didn't come here specially to celebrate my birthday."

"No, it's the old man's birthday anyway." Lu Mingxuan shook her head and vetoed, "When the time comes, how many pairs of eyes will watch you go in, and you will attract more attention if you don't go."

Jiang Yueli snorted noncommittally: "I don't think he wants to see me very much."

"What?" Lu Mingxuan didn't understand Jiang Yueli's meaning, "Although the old man has a bad temper, he is still relatively gentle to outsiders. At most, he will just stare at you, and he will never hit you."

Jiang Yueli complained: "Sounds like an unreasonable old-fashioned old man."

"Ha, it's a little bit, otherwise Sister Hua wouldn't be willing to come here even if she came back." Lu Mingxuan said, "The old man is also pitiful. He has been autocratic for a lifetime and now he is the only one left in the family."

"Where are his other children?" Jiang Yueli paused and asked, "Aren't they coming back?"

"It's been a long time since we fell out." Lu Mingxuan shrugged, "Sister Hua is not bad, at least there are gifts to bring back. The other two sons have all left to set up their own families and haven't come back for several years. No contact at all."

Disharmony within the Hua family is well known.

The disharmony of the Hua family is not a conflict due to interests and greed like the Lu family, but just an emotional disharmony.

Mr. Hua is a typical traditional feudal patriarch, and his family style is extremely strict, even to the point of strictness, he always speaks his words at home without any refutation.

This is also related to the historical background of the Hua family. The Hua family is a big family with a long history, and some feudal dross ideas are deeply rooted here.

For example, girls should stay at home with their husbands and children. No matter how good their studies are, no matter how capable they are, they will eventually return to the family. Another example is the marriage of children, which must be decided by their parents.

However, with the advent of the new era, with the development of network communication, the younger generation has more and more contacts with the outside world, and their minds are becoming more and more open, so they are less and less willing to endure Mr. Hua's rigidity and autocracy.

Mr. Hua had three sons and two daughters in total. Unfortunately, without exception, these children all left the Hua family after they became capable, and have never returned since.

Leaving Mr. Hua alone at Hua's house, it seems a bit bleak in his later years.

"In Sister Hua's generation, all her elder brothers and sisters died outside. The elder brother seemed to be in a plane crash. The elder sister eloped with someone and disappeared. The remaining three ran away almost as soon as they reached adulthood. Even Mrs. Hua It's been more than ten years since I left, and I heard that I was pissed off by Mr. Hua."

Lu Mingxuan didn't have much contact with the Hua family, the only ones she was familiar with were Hua Ye, the eldest grandson of the Hua family, and Hua Yishi, the aunt who adopted Hua Ye.

Other than that, Lu Mingxuan was just like an ordinary person, occasionally hearing some gossip about the Hua family, but she didn't know much about the specific inside story.

However, she has been following Hua Yishi all year round, and she can somewhat guess the reason why they left home, and it has something to do with their big brothers and sisters.

Whenever Hua Yishi mentions her father, her expression is always complicated, love and hate are intertwined, but it seems that there is more hate, otherwise she would not have passed the house and refused to enter.

What Lu Mingxuan didn't know, Jiang Yueli could guess a little bit——

Hua Yishi hates her father much more than she loves her father.

But Jiang Yueli didn't say much, just looked down at the phone, but recalled the scene when he saw Hua Yishi last time in his mind.

Before parting, Hua Yishi bowed deeply to her, her gesture was solemn but not lacking in pleasure.

After that, she reminded and urged Lu Mingxuan over and over again that she must bring her to Mr. Hua's birthday banquet.

This was not because she really cared too much about the major events in Lu Mingxuan's life, it was just an excuse to take advantage of people who could be used right in front of her eyes.

Hua Yishi is a very measured person, she doesn't know that too much interference in other people's emotional life is not flattering, fortunately Lu Mingxuan doesn't dislike Jiang Yueli too much, otherwise she will definitely be embarrassed by her attitude .

It's a pity that Lu Mingxuan was a little too close to the other party, and didn't realize the abnormality in it.

But this book has nothing to do with Lu Mingxuan.

So Jiang Yueli just gave a perfunctory "um", indicating that he had heard these words, but he didn't respond.

Lu Mingxuan sensed Jiang Yueli's indifference, and assuming that she was dissatisfied with being forced to attend such a tedious banquet, she persuaded, "We'll be back after a while, please be patient."

Jiang Yueli stopped tapping on the phone screen, raised her eyelids, and reminded: "Mr. Lu, don't forget your task of seducing the attention of those in your family. Be mentally prepared."

Lu Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then sighed faintly: "Did your Chinese teacher teach you Chinese? If you don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately."

Jiang Yueli responded calmly: "I have never taken a Chinese class."

Lu Mingxuan: "..."

......

Flower House

Although there was still nearly an hour before the official start of the birthday banquet, the scene was already full of people.

Even if he was on a business trip, he arrived at the scene more than ten minutes ago.

For example, Father Jiang has been flying around the world for the past six months, and he still has a big deal to discuss in the past two days, and he also abruptly postponed the transaction for two days, just to come back to attend the banquet.

No one dared to be late for Mr. Hua's birthday banquet, let alone miss it.

Although Mr. Hua was a little too harsh on his family, his influence outside of K City was one of the best. Even Lu Mingxuan would restrain her scorn a little in front of him.

All the guests walked back and forth in the hall holding their wine glasses, walking back and forth with fake smiles, looking for familiar and unfamiliar people to compliment and greet each other, as if they were very close to each other.

Lu Mingxuan led Jiang Yueli into the door, and even stepped lightly to speed up.

However, a person like her seemed to be born with a spotlight. The moment she entered the door, most of the eyes in the hall were on her.

Seeing many people holding up their wine glasses ready to come up to say hello, Lu Mingxuan just wanted to roll her eyes.

This is the reason why she is not very happy to attend all kinds of banquets. Facing those ignorant dude buddies of the same age, she can just shake her face and leave according to her heart, but now it is at someone else's birthday banquet, and she can't help it. Some of them were business partners, and she had to be patient and respond one by one.

But this time she was lucky, Mr. Hua almost followed her out to greet the guests.

In an instant, everyone's attention was on Mr. Hua, wondering when it would be more appropriate to go to celebrate his birthday.

Lu Mingxuan didn't have so many worries. Her main task this time was to help Hua Yishi hand over the gift. After the elders in front finished congratulating, she dragged Jiang Yueli over.

Jiang Yueli, who was being dragged, tried to struggle, but it didn't work. She subconsciously raised her hand to help her glasses, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered that she wasn't wearing glasses today.

It's bad enough.

Jiang Yueli lowered his head, and went straight to hide behind Lu Mingxuan.

When Mr. Hua is silent, he always has an astonishing vigor, and ordinary people generally don't dare to look at him.

Lu Mingxuan thought that Jiang Yueli was not used to the atmosphere of being watched and watched, so with a smile on her face, she said a few clever birthday words, handed over Hua Yishi's gift, greeted her, and hurriedly greeted her. Following Jiang Yueli, he walked towards the corner.

Lu Mingxuan, who was walking in a hurry, naturally didn't notice the dazed expression of Mr. Hua falling on Jiang Yueli's back.

As soon as Lu Mingxuan left, the others also stepped forward to celebrate Mr. Hua's birthday, and quickly blocked his sight.

After Mr. Hua finished dealing with the group of people who had just arrived, when he looked up again, Jiang Yueli was no longer in sight.

Lu Mingxuan originally planned to find a random corner to take Jiang Yue away from the nest, and check and monitor the situation of the Lu family by the way.

It's a pity that besides Mr. Hua, there are many people who are paying attention to her movements.

Some people heard the news that Lu Mingxuan had "died again" and were surprised and amazed by her appearance, but most of them just smiled at most, thinking that there were quite a lot of absurd rumors about this President Lu.

Feeling deeply in their hearts, these people also took wine glasses from the waiter and greeted Lu Mingxuan.

As a result, Lu Mingxuan's plan was quickly declared bankrupt, and she was surrounded by a group of people, who exchanged pleasantries with twists and turns.

Lu Mingxuan's mind was not on these people at all. She passed through the crowd and scanned the hall with her peripheral vision, looking for the figures of those familiar people. At the same time, she firmly grasped Jiang Yueli's hand, fearing that she would be scattered in the crowd.

The more people there are, the more chaotic it will be.

On the one hand, Lu Mingxuan didn't have much interest in socializing, but on the other hand, she felt flustered by these people.

The incident of the bodyguard's betrayal was still vivid in her mind, Lu Mingxuan thought she would soon forget about it, because she knew very well that there were very few people like that bodyguard after all.

However, when more and more people approached her and looked at the familiar but hypocritical faces, Lu Mingxuan's palms were covered with sweat.

No matter how calm the surface is, there is still no way to hide the body's instinctive reaction.

Lu Mingxuan subconsciously tightened her five fingers, and the temperature in her hands was slightly lower than that of ordinary people, which made her feel at ease——

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the person she had doubted that gave her a sense of peace of mind.

But soon the hand broke free from her palm, like a gust of wind picking up sand, and it couldn't be held in her hand no matter how hard she tried.

When the last fingertip slipped from between her fingers, Lu Mingxuan's heart almost stopped beating for half a beat.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand to chase, but bumped into someone else's hand.

The man's pretentiously concerned voice exploded in her ears: "Boss Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Mingxuan frowned and calmed down: "It's okay."

Outside the crowd, Jiang Yueli moved to the balcony step by step. She had locked onto the location of the Lu family long before Lu Mingxuan.

Almost everyone who could come from the Lu family came, even Lu Xiaoling sat in the corner with her husband - it was probably because of the last experience that made them feel psychologically shadowed, this time she never dared to take the initiative to go in front of Lu Mingxuan again .

Except for Lu Xiaoling and a few young people, the older members of the Lu family basically gathered in the same position.

The main house of the Hua family used for the birthday banquet is very large, with a spacious and bright hall, and several small balconies on both sides. The surrounding area is covered by thick and stacked curtains, which is not easy to attract attention.

All the members of the Lu family gathered around the balcony, and they couldn't help moving their gazes to Lu Mingxuan's side, while exchanging something in a low voice with dignified expressions.

Jiang Yueli began to pay attention to the expressions of these people from the moment he entered the door.

The Lu family couldn't believe that Lu Mingxuan was "alive" more than anyone else. The moment they saw her, expressions similar to panic flashed across their faces, followed by surprise, surprise, and annoyance. with vigilance.

There were even two people who took out their mobile phones on the spot, as if they were going to call someone to confirm something.

Taking advantage of Lu Mingxuan being blocked by someone and attracting the attention of the Lu family, Jiang Yueli slowly approached the balcony, and turned on the recording function when he could hear the voices of the Lu family.

It has to be said that Lu Mingxuan has worked so hard in the Lu family for so many years, and the hatred value is still stable. Almost no one noticed Jiang Yueli who sneaked out of the crowd.

In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention from the Lu family, Jiang Yueli quickly jumped into the balcony again, listening to the conversation of the people next door through two layers of curtains.

The Lu family was very cautious. Although there was a sense of panic at this time, at most they were just vague words such as "what to do" and "how did this happen", which actually cannot be regarded as very effective evidence upon careful examination.

But Jiang Yueli didn't expect to hear them passionately talk about their criminal process at other people's banquets.

When a few people outside were vigilantly hinting that this place is not suitable for talking, Jiang Yueli was typing on his mobile phone: "Has the voice contrasted?"

Before Jiang Yueli sent the news, the people outside seemed to have realized that the balcony is not suitable for talking, and began to hint whether they should leave the banquet scene early.

It would be bad if these people ran away now.

Jiang Yueli frowned.

While she was worrying, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from nearby: "Uncle Wu, long time no see, how are you?"

Lu Mingxuan stopped in front of the people who were about to turn around, and looked at them with a smile, the exaggerated expression of yearning on her face was so exaggerated that people couldn't bear to let it go.

"Hey, are you guys getting ready to leave?" Lu Mingxuan swept her gaze over the others, and raised her voice slightly, "Mr. Hua only has a birthday banquet in ten years, so I hope everyone can get together and have fun, Uncle Tang How can you spoil the fun like this, it's not okay, and it will make people laugh at our Lu family for being rude."

The people around heard Lu Mingxuan's words, and immediately cast their eyes on the other members of the Lu family watching the show.

It is well known that the Lu family has serious internal strife, but they seldom quarrel in public.

In the past, although Lu Mingxuan looked down upon her relatives anyway, she would basically take a step back and would not be as aggressive as she is now.

Sensing the change in Lu Mingxuan's attitude, the onlookers suddenly became a little excited.

Gossip is the eternal nature of human beings, even powerful people cannot avoid it, not to mention that this is still a lively place in the Lu family, even those who are not very familiar with it can't help but glance over here.

Lu Mingxuan's three or two words attracted everyone's attention, and the expressions of the members of the Lu family turned dark, and they held their breath for a while and swallowed back the words of scolding mother.

It is definitely not possible to leave now, Lu Mingxuan said so clearly, if they leave, they will offend the Hua family, and it will also appear that they are guilty, the last thing they want at this moment is to attract excessive attention from others.

Fifth Uncle Lu snorted coldly, took the lead to grab the wine glass and turned around: "Who said we are leaving, but just looking at the scenery here will hinder Mr. Lu's business?"

The fifth uncle's eccentric reaction didn't anger Lu Mingxuan at all. Instead, she was still smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.

"It's fine if you don't, take your time, I'll give some uncles and aunts a ride after the banquet is over, don't be too polite."

"no need!"

The Lu family snorted coldly, and followed Uncle Wu to another small balcony, as if they were really interested in the small garden outside the balcony.

Jiang Yueli, who was hiding behind the balcony, breathed a sigh of relief, put on an earphone, listened to the playback of the recording, and at the same time sent out a text message urging the other party to move faster.

I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be quite powerful at the critical moment.

Jiang Yueli's inner feelings were interrupted artificially only halfway through the broadcast.

Lu Mingxuan opened the curtains, walked into the balcony, and squinted at Jiang Yueli for a moment.

"President Lu, over there—"

Jiang Yueli turned his head to look at her, greeted her calmly, and prepared to report the progress of the other side by the way.

However, before she could finish speaking, Lu Mingxuan went straight to her and pressed down aggressively, leaning on the balcony railing with one hand and leaning down, looking into her eyes.

"Why let go of my hand?"
